Hamilton woman charged with selling cocaine

The Monroe County Drug Task Force has charged a Hamilton Township woman with selling cocaine after seeing her allegedly throw cocaine from her vehicle while driving Thursday.

Drug Task Force members said they saw Jennifer Day, 31, leave her home Thursday and followed her. Having probable cause that Day had committed previous felonies, task force members stopped the Dodge Avenger she was driving on Mountain Vista Road, near her home.

Task force members said that, as they pulled Day over, they saw her throw what appeared to be two bags of cocaine out of the vehicle’s window. They said they detained her and found the discarded cocaine nearby, and that she told them she had been going “to give some guy cocaine” at the Giant supermarket in Bartonsville.

The task force then obtained a search warrant, and at 8:39 p.m. that day brought Day back to her home and searched the residence.

Task force members said they found a loaded 9mm pistol, hidden containers used to conceal cocaine, a digital scale and money the task force had previously marked as part of the investigation. Also at the residence was Day’s brother, Christopher Kleinschmidt, 33, who task force members said admitted to having sold cocaine for Day.

Day was charged with possession with intent to deliver, possession, tampering with evidence and drug paraphernalia possession. She was later released on $20,000 bail and is awaiting a district court preliminary hearing.

Kleinschmidt was released from custody Thursday night and has similar charges pending against him.
